TL;DR: The flexible constraint handling capabilities of MPC are shown to be a significant advantage in the context of the overall operating objectives of the process industries and the 1-, 2-, and ∞-norm formulations of the performance objective are discussed.

TL;DR: A technique to compute the explicit state-feedback solution to both the finite and infinite horizon linear quadratic optimal control problem subject to state and input constraints is presented, and it is shown that this closed form solution is piecewise linear and continuous.

TL;DR: A predictive control scheme is proposed which is able to stabilize MLD systems on desired reference trajectories while fulfilling operating constraints, and possibly take into account previous qualitative knowledge in the form of heuristic rules.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach for robust MPC synthesis that allows explicit incorporation of the description of plant uncertainty in the problem formulation, and shows that the feasible receding horizon state-feedback control design robustly stabilizes the set of uncertain plants.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: This review focuses on model predictive control of constrained systems, both linear and nonlinear, and distill from an extensive literature essential principles that ensure stability to present a concise characterization of most of the model predictive controllers that have been proposed in the literature.

TL;DR: Free MATLAB toolbox YALMIP is introduced, developed initially to model SDPs and solve these by interfacing eternal solvers by making development of optimization problems in general, and control oriented SDP problems in particular, extremely simple.
Abstract: The MATLAB toolbox YALMIP is introduced. It is described how YALMIP can be used to model and solve optimization problems typically occurring in systems and control theory. In this paper, free MATLAB toolbox YALMIP, developed initially to model SDPs and solve these by interfacing eternal solvers. The toolbox makes development of optimization problems in general, and control oriented SDP problems in particular, extremely simple. In fact, learning 3 YALMIP commands is enough for most users to model and solve the optimization problems
